[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just a thought, but is your kid properly medicated?  With all the changes in teenage bodies dosages may need adjustment.  Or, if you have not medicated before, now might be a good time to start.[/quote]

My child takes no medicine. [/quote]

Not everyone needs medication.  Plus a child has to be willing to take meds as well as needs to stay on track with meds when they mature.[/quote]

We raised our child with severe issues with no medication. It was difficult and intense but worth it to us. Medication has side effects (physically and mentally) that can mean eventually you have to come off of it which can be a very intense long term experience itself. It is possible to do but it's a lot of work and not a very common thing.[/quote]

I feel like people always have ADHD in mind in this forum when behavior comes up.

There are many disabilities that could make a disabled adult or older child vulnerable to police that have nothing to do with medication. Autism, Down Syndrome, etc. [/quote]

I am the one who asked the question about medication.  It was just a question.  I also asked about diagnosis.  I didn't assume ADHD.   There is medication for a lot of other things. There is medication that can help with anger management, which OP seemed to worry about.  Knowing more about what is causing rhe behavior will help manage it, whether through medication or something else.[/quote]

My son has CAPD and his receptive language is in the bottom percentiles. It makes for a frustrating life for him academically and socially. He's typically a happy kid, and does not show much aggression. But neither did my friends' sons until recently.
